Cherry Cordial Fudge Hearts

So, yesterday I professed my love of Wilton’s Limited Edition Cherry Cordial Candy Melts and used them to make a batch of Cordial Cherry Cake Balls. Being I had gotten several bags of the candy wafers, I just had to experiment a bit more.

My first thought was to make Cherry Cordial Fudge and being the homemade candy would be for Valentine’s Day, it only made sense to me to make the confection in tiny heart shapes.

I often make two ingredient fudge with semi-sweet chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. It’s so easy and creates a sinfully rich and creamy fudge. I figured I could swap out a bag of the candy melts for some of the dark chocolate, or for all of it, which would add a wonderful cherry cordial flavor to the chocolate fudge.

I used one of Wilton’s Silicone Heart molds to make my fudge and when I popped the fudge hearts out of the mold, they looked nice, but I plan to give these away and thought it would be a good idea to add some indication of the cherry flavor hiding within, so I drizzled on some bright pink candy melts. I’ve always loved pink and brown together. It’s just a pretty color combination.

If you’d like to try out this fudge, and have a chance to win some of Wilton’s Cherry Cordial Candy Melts plus all of this stuff…

*I used one of these silicone molds, and made 24 hearts, but I had extra fudge which probably would have made another 6-10 hearts.

Instructions:

Fill the bottom of your double boiler with 1 inch of water. Pour candy melts, and semi-sweet chocolate, if using, and the sweetened condensed milk into the top bowl of the double boiler. Set bowl over the water, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t actually touching the water. Heat over low heat, stirring often until about 3/4 of the chocolate is melted.

Remove from heat, stir gently, then let sit for one minute.

Note: You can do this without using a double boiler, but just be sure to heat over low heat and remove before all the chocolate melts, or you may end up with greasy fudge.

Stir just until all the chocolate is melted. If needed, return to heat for another minute, and repeat.
